Overall, reviews describe Ila as delivering a Philly cheesesteak with fresh ingredients and several standout options like the Super Hero and the paparazzi, with juicy meat and soft bread when the sauce balance is right, though a few visits were drier or had smaller portions and some note higher prices for combos or fries. The vibe is described as cozy and welcoming, and the staff are repeatedly praised for friendliness and efficient service, with recommendations to help diners choose. Many reviewers call Ila one of the best Philly cheesesteaks in Montreal and plan to return to try more of the menu, while a minority mention inconsistencies in portion size, bread texture, and value at busier times.
I went in August 2025 & it was great. It wasn't busy at all so I did not have to queue or wait long. I am so glad I visited. The interior & wall art is super cool, kind of grungey with the spray paint artwork. The cheesesteak I got was warm, the bread (ciabatta I think) was super soft & the pockets just soaked up the sauce perfectly. The messier the tastier!!
I tried the Philly steak sandwich from Ila Sandwich & it was amazing! Super fresh, flavorful, & perfectly cooked. Definitely one of the best sandwiches I've had. Highly recommend!
Les sandwiches sont bons mais manquent de viande. & vu le tarif, on s'attendrait à mieux.
Beaucoup de pain, c'est volumineux, mais c'est du pain.
80$ pour ce qu'il y a sur la photo.
& panique à bord s'il faut parler français au service… Coucou Loi 101.
It says online that they're closing at 9pm. I get there at 8 & they're already closed. Either you close at 8 or at 9, but if you close at 8, make sure that online it says that you close at 8.

Incroyable, le sandwich est tout simplement ENORME & délicieux. Bon service en anglais & en français & temps d'attente raisonnable.
J aurais bien ajouté une photo mais je n'ai pas réussi a arrêter de manger le sandwich avant de le finir.
Probably the best Philly cheesesteak in Montreal! The meat was juicy & flavorful, the cheese melted perfectly, & the bread was super fresh. I also tried the roast beef sandwich was tender, tasty, & full of flavor. The staff were really friendly & welcoming, & the place has such a nice, cozy vibe. Highly recommend & definitely coming back soon. Thank you so much Majid joon. 🙌🏻🔥💯
